That's what I been waiting to here. Wine and dine his big butt and make sure he don't leave New Orleans for Houston. We need a big guy in the middle so that can free up some space for our ends. Now my question is if he sign with the Saints in the draft do get a linebacker or do we trade our draft pick for more picks.

The move was not unexpected. The Stroud trade three years ago was a bad idea and the subsequent $20.5 million extension was even more ill-conceived. Stroud was due $4.5 million in 2011 on the heels of two straight years of poor run defense. The 32-year-old is not an ideal fit in the Bills' 3-4 scheme, and the team wanted to open up playing time for promising second-year end Alex Carrington. Expect Stroud to draw a look from 4-3 teams this offseason.

I find both of these guys are very interesting options. Both are at stages in their careers where they should understand they are not going to be 3 down guys... nor should they be expecting large multimillion dollar contracts. Neither of these guys have rings and I'm sure winning one now before their career is up should take prescendant over an extra million or so dollars. Throw a 1-2 mil with some incentives and see who bites... we need a big body next to Ellis.
